msa1000 firmware update for server running HPUX

Have an HP MSA 1000 and need to upgrade the firmware on it. Server is running HPUX 11i and has two hba cards that attached and it sees them in ioscan. The fibre connections on the MSA are attached to the server has well but they do not appear in ioscan. I thought this would be easy but it is taking much longer than I thought. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello ,

Is it a single or a dual controller setup?Is your MSA1000 in Active/Active or Active /Passive configuration ?

MSA CLI firmaware upgrade method can be used to upgrade the firmware on your MSA. You should have the custome CLI cable shipped with your MSA1000 which can be attached to the RJ45z port on your MSA1000

Before using this method please make a note of the following======================================

1.For A/P MSA1000, existing fw on the controller should be 4.32 or later2.For active/active MSA, all version (v6.xx or later) support the use of this commanndHP-UX environments must have an MSA fiber link to a switch.=======================================

4.After opening the session, at the CLI promt use the following command

CLI> download firmware offline

5. In the "send file" window of your telnet screen, navigate to the directory where you placed your firmware file. Expand the "protocol" drop down box , and then select "1K Xmodem" and then click "send"

Check the MSA LCD panel...it will show you " FIRMWARE FLASH STARTED" when the fw download begins and "FIRMWARE FLASH DONE" when fw download stops.Wait for the "FIRMWARE FLASH DONE" message to appear.6. manually power cycle the MSA10007. In a MSA dual controller environment, you will get the option of " CLONE FIRMWARE" . Press the ">" button on the MSA1000 to start the cloning process.

Where is the firmware download page? The software and drivers page points to the firmware maintenance CD. I can't find MSA firmware on this CD. I also searched the MSA1000/1500 support CD with no success. Can you please send me the URL?
